Packed full of healthy ingredients and diverse flavours, this salad is a wonderful companion to roast chicken. The ingredients can vary with whatever produce is seasonal. Making it is an excellent opportunity to use up any vegetables in your crisper, too.

This recipe calls for two peppers, which make four stuffed halves; kids might want one half, adults might want two’so double this recipe if needed. For a different flavour, try quinoa instead of rice. Or substitute ground chicken for the turkey, or feta cheese for mozzarella or Asiago.

While lamb’s flavour is a bit stronger than other meats, it makes a moist and delicious main course. And not all lamb is from New Zealand; we have wonderful fresh Canadian lamb available in grocery stores and butcher shops across the country.
